Short answer: If you know English words but find it hard to write a good sentence, paragraph or essay, the Learning Path is a step-by-step course for exactly that. It has five stones: vocabulary, joining ideas, longer sentences, paragraphs, and articles and essays. In every lesson you use one text four ways: you write it, read it, listen to it and say it. A grammar checker and a writing coach give feedback while you write. You can start at any stone, and the first lesson of each stone is free to try.
Problems it solves
- "I know words but cannot make a sentence." Stone 1 joins two ideas with and, but, or, so.
- "My sentences are always short and simple." Stone 2 adds reasons, time and conditions with because, when and if.
- "I do not know how to organize a paragraph." Stone 3 teaches a topic sentence, details and a closing sentence.
- "I have to write an essay and do not know where to start." Stone 4 plans and writes a whole text, in eight essay types, with a writing coach that asks questions as you go.
- "I keep making the same mistakes and nobody checks my writing." A built-in grammar checker flags common mistakes and offers a fix when it is sure. It runs on your device and can miss mistakes, so it does not replace a teacher.
- "People find it hard to understand me." Sound lessons practice the sounds and endings that learners often miss.
How it works
- Choose a stone. If English is new, start with Vocabulary. If you know words but cannot make sentences, start with Join ideas.
- Open a short lesson. The voice on your device reads every instruction, so you always know what to do.
- Write a sentence or a paragraph, then read it, listen to it and say it. A rule card and a sound lesson are one tap away.
- Come back for about 15 minutes a day. Your progress stays on your device.
